Many Vanguard index funds use sampling, in fact. It's more complicated than you think.

Thanks man I'll just use the $600k we had lying around.

Appreciate the advice but this is Claude Managed Agents, so one can’t simply write one’s own harness.

I think it's sort of strange to refer to comparative advantage, which is taught in every "Introduction to Macroeconomics" class/textbook in existence, as an "arcane" part of economics.

I think your source for the "game dev side" is odd-it's from 2009, a recession with markedly different characteristics than this one-and says nothing about the claim you've made about people losing jobs right now. Usuall

They probably meant out of the platforms Apple competes with. Presumably I could find a platform with, say, 12 users and only 1 non-native app, and if that app followed native UI guidelines I could say it has 100% native UI adoption and thu

You're wrong, I owned an XPS 13 before my MacBook and the power supply was small and well designed.

I'm not going to engage in some arcane debate about the particularities of random windows laptops vs. apple ones. The fact is that there are comparable windows laptops at this point when it comes to "bezels and ports," in par

Presumably the vast majority of people are not going to want to scale their 13-inch display so that everything is significantly harder to read for the sake of increased screen real estate. But I'm glad that the MacBook works well for y

That's not really accurate; a similarly specced XPS 13 is several hundred dollars cheaper than my laptop. But Apple is certainly winning the touchpad game, you're right about that.

by thomashobohm 6y ago
Yeah, but almost nobody opts for the super high resolution display because the screen is so small that the difference is basically unnoticeable. A similar configuration to my laptop is several hundred dollars cheaper, and that's a not

Have you seen any Windows laptops in the past five years? Many Windows ultrabooks rival Apple's in terms of "ports and bezels." The XPS 13, for example, has significantly thinner bezels than the MacBook Pro I'm typing th

In terms of aptitude testing, going through some books like "How to Prove It" and working on rigorous proofs-based material (perhaps an introductory analysis book with lots of diagrams) will be helpful. As will brushing up on geom

This depends super heavily on the math courses you’ve already taken.

If you want to study applied math and go into the workforce, then my point still stands, going to Princeton vs. Michigan simply doesn't matter. If you want to go to graduate school, it's unclear if it matters all that much. Prince

I think it should be obvious why there's no mention-in fact, you said it yourself-"these new routing algorithms are not yet widely used" but are a "promising avenue of research." The purpose of the paper as stated i

Once you're at that level, the differences are marginal. It matters if you want to go to graduate school, I suppose, but we're talking about people who just want to get a degree and go into the workforce here. For them, Princeton

This isn't your term paper-you don't need to cite your sources. But, if you're going to, at least try to do it correctly (the parentheses go inside the sentence, the period goes outside the parentheses). Regardless, it's

They only keep certain parts secret so market actors don’t make decisions based on what the Fed is thinking about doing. Obviously if people knew the Fed was thinking about raising interest rates, for example, it would affect their decision

Totally agree! I just don’t want people to get the wrong impression-easy to think that the takeaway is “inflation is always good for young people.”

Please, this isn’t Soviet Russia, economists disagree about practically everything, so the whole argument that the profession has a serious groupthink problem is unconvincing to me. The reason why economists mostly agree on this particular

I don’t understand how your quote from Ben Bernanke is relevant. Where in the quote does Bernanke say that we’ve fully eliminated volatility? And how is he representative of “most economists?” I’ve said in other parts of the thread that eco
